Well I bought a visually beat up 1978 Monte with a new crate 350, intake manifold, headers, carb, etc. and have spent a great deal of time and money on it. I'm moving to California and realized I may not pass smog there. I took it to a mechanic here and he said I have no chance and spurt out a...

I finally have my dash set up and everything is working perfectly except the fuel gauge reading EE (it works intermittently, I'm assuming the sending unit light has a bad connection somewhere). I don't know what to set for the warning values though. What do you recommend for the oil pressure...

Hey guys I've run into a problem! I'm new to working on cars and am installing a dakota digital cluster on my 78 Monte Carlo. I've found everything I've needed so far except the fuel send and ground. The gauge just touched a PCB on the back of the cluster which is now removed (please tell me it...

Hello all! 1978 Monte Carlo Landau w/ newer 350 I have what seems to be a ground issue, but I'm having a bit of difficulty finding it. When I turn my headlights on they will change in brightness as I drive (accelerate, brake, and other common driving mechanics...it's not that predictable)...

Hey all. 1978 Monte Carlo with 350ci crate motor. I changed spark plugs, cap, and rotor and now the car won't ignite. Tested after changing sparks and it started fine. Changed cap and rotor, won't ignite just keeps turning. I installed cap with all components (spring, brass thing, insulating...

Hello all! Thank you for the time to look over my post. I'm new to any cars pre 1997, but have worked on motorcycles for about a decade. I thought it would be fun to buy a Monte in need of work and fix it up to sell for decent money. It'll be my daily driver until it's ready to sell, but I'll...
